Guilt in organising a new job

Why is it in IT world we are always lookin to move on? I have setup an interview for later this week, it is a C# position which I've been trying to get for several months now. Yet I feel quiet guilty.

Guilty because a company gave me a chance to work for them. I needed a job and was hired as a VB.Net developer. This just isn't my passion but I couldn;t turn it down since I really needed to money and didn't have a job. Now I'm settled in the company and I'm handling a rather big project. Now after 4months I'm saying, "Its been fun, bye!"

But I'm still young and need to get into C# because that is where my true passion lies! Isn't life just plain nasty?!

Verrrry nasty.... but I say at the end of the day you have to do wot's best for you (and try not to burn any bridges).

As he said don't burn your bridges, so sometimes its a case of weighing up if you're hurting yourself more by seemingly moving forward or is it really to your advantage, the more people you know that like you, the better.

Just remember it reflects negatively on any credit scoring you may encounter:

Time at current emplyee: 1 month
Time at previous employee 4 months...

It seems that your current company gave you a great opportunity to handle a big project and it shows that they have a lot of faith and trust in you .If I where you I would look past the programming language issue and rather consider which company will allow me to achieve the most. Good luck.
